I do have to laugh at how quickly Saade has ran back to Melodifestivalen, I may be speaking out of my arse here but I seem to remember him being very much like "I've done the Melodifestivalen big pop part of my career, now I'm finally doing what I want to do" as if he'd moved past it... now his career seems to ground to a halt, he's come back only four years later. Not particularly shocked, like, happens all the time but if he does continue with the sort of songs he has been making, I actually don't think he'll win it regardless of his fanbase; fanbases don't seem to be enough to carry you in MF.

I wouldn't quite say his career's ground to a halt - he did have a number one album last year and a number one (charity) single in May. But yeah, he could probably use a bit of a pick me up. And he can't have been too dismissive of it all if he came back to do presenting for Eurovision! I don't think he's on a par with Loreen in terms of the obvious INTERNAL HORROR at having done Eurovision.

babe, he wasn't in it last year? you're possibly confusing him with anton ewald (easily done but eric has 100x the star power)

oh, marlon brando's son

*JakeWild dies of shame*

I noticed this the other day and what's more exciting is that she's been working with Quiz & Larossi, so I'm placing ALL my hope on this girl bringing me a BOMBO (and if she wants to deliver equally iconic vocals then I'm in).

 

She even looks a bit like Adelen now she's got blonde hair, calling her the Ace Wilder shock success as of November 23rd, you heard it here first.

Oooh THAT'LL DO PAM *.*
